[New-bugs-announce] [issue33490] pthread auto-detection can use AX_PTHREAD

[Eitan Adler]

New submission from Eitan Adler <lists at eitanadler.com>:

There is a ton of logic in configure.ac to detect pthreads support. There is a standard macro to use instead: https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_pthread.html#ax_pthread 

In order to simplify our pthread logic we should make use of the standard macro instead of writing our own code.
